In the course of researches carried out on the cave-dwelling Coleoptera of Serbia (Yugoslavia) and some neighbouring areas, a number of members of the genus Quedius Stephens, 1832 were collected. A list of these species is published in this contribution, with data on their occurrence in adjacent areas. Based on data from field researches and from references, the distribution of three subspecies of Quedius (Microsauris) mesomelinus (Marsham, 1802) on the territory of the former Yugoslavia is given. They were found in caves as well as outside of them. One of the subspecies, kraussi Penecke, 1904, is endemic of the littoral area from Middle Dalmatia (Croatia) to Virpazar (Montenegro). The nominotypical subspecies was collected only on mountain areas of Herzegovina, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia, very often in caves. The Central European subspecies, skoraszewskyi Korge, 1961, found in Croatia, is widespread in Serbia, and was found in this territory nearly exclusively in caves and pits. Thirteen other species of the same genus, found in caves or pits in Serbia or in adjacent areas, are listed in the paper, with data on their distribution.
